“I’m really pleased to have presented her with the Charles Maher Award for the work she does in her local community.

“Holly really deserves the recognition Percy Main Primary has given her and I hope she continues her hard work with WoW.”

Mayor Norma Redfearn said: “It’s fantastic to see someone from North Tyneside receive this prestigious accolade.

“Holly has gone the extra mile to champion active and sustainable travel to her peers and the local community and demonstrated real commitment and passion that we can all learn from.

“Every one of us can contribute to more sustainable travel, whether by taking a more healthy travel option by walking and cycling more, or as a motorist being smarter about where we park so we keep our streets safe places to walk and cycle.

“We’d like to say well done from everyone at North Tyneside Council and Schools Go Smarter on a very special achievement.”
